The Arch Villain Hunt

Choose two detectives from your team. Those two players will do an Arch-Villain hunt, with the usual rules applying for a tournament. Both detectives have until Wednesday, August 10, to capture their villains. Hunters may travel up to Shangri-La the previous night (Wednesday, August 3), but ANYONE who starts a hunt before Thursday, 12:00, SST, will be disqualified (so make VERY sure you don't do it). Scores will be determined on a team basis, and by days, not time (people overseas won't have to be up at odd hours of the night to deal with Server times this way). Anyone traveling through Cairo MUST either post it on the boards, or send a PM to Riza or Breit announcing that they are (we WILL be verifying that). Sidekick cases are banned, as usual. Apartment and Agency gear is legal. If, for some reason, there are technical issues with the servers, all hunters will be given extra time to complete their hunts.

An individual hunter's number of days will be counted up, added to his/her teammate's number of days, and the lowest combined sum will be the winner. The first TEAM to capture their villains will receive 10 points. Second team to capture will receive 7. Third will receive 5, and fourth will receive 3. All teams receive 3 participation points each for each AV hunter on their team (I.E. - 6 points total).

If, for some reason, you guess wrong, and fail a hunt, DO NOT QUIT. Go back to Shangri-La and start over. BOTH members of the team must capture in order to receive placement points. So keep going (even if you takes you four times, voice of experience talkin' here ;-).


The Cairo Scavenger Hunt

For the other two detectives from your team, you will be going to Cairo (big surprise there ;-). You need to complete ten favors from EACH of the townspeople in Cairo, in no particular order. Once you have completed a favor from a townsperson, you MUST make a screenshot at the end (completion) of the favor, like this:

Sleuth is comin' to get you
Edmund, you're toast, Guv

So if you don't play a sidekick case right away but store it in an apartment first, it's within the rules to use that case later?

Haha, always on the lookout for that loophole :D Technically the cases stored in an apartment before the Olympics started could be from anywhere (they could be your detective's sidekick cases or your cases from a friend or even a friend's sidekick cases :P) because everybody had the opportunity to bulk up and get help. However, I think those would be off-limits once the competition began - now it's just you and your team with your 12 cases, any cases you might have in files even if you stored them before the 4th (so today), any cases you may store in files hereafter, and any favours that you can get.

Disclaimer: That's just what I think and how I read it, I might just be around waiting for the Resistance game to start, I never knew nothing :D I'm sure one of the organisers will be around later on to clarify. But toasted (burnt to a crisp!) Edmund...that sounds good.

Glad to see everyone's so enthusiastic about the upcoming challenges :)

I just wanted to drop a small message, since I read that some people didn't participate (yet) into the writing aspect.

For those people who have trouble with writing, you can always drop a message towards me and I'll be happy to give a few pointers :)

For the upcoming Roleplaying challenge, I recommend that you guys check out some of the RP Stories. Airs and Heiresses or No Barnes about it are good examples of how RP stories look and work :)

That is all *walks off with the ice-cream cart, shouting "ICE CREAM. WHO WANTS SOME ICE CREAM?*

To be honest, I assumed the Cairo hunts would be connected to the piramids. I would have bulked cases if I knew what I know now.

*Gasp* RP contests ....
